            <code class="function">glGetCompressedTexImage</code> returns the compressed texture image associated with <em class="parameter"><code>target</code></em> and <em class="parameter"><code>lod</code></em>
            into <em class="parameter"><code>img</code></em>.  <em class="parameter"><code>img</code></em> should be an array of
            <code class="constant">GL_TEXTURE_COMPRESSED_IMAGE_SIZE</code> bytes.
            <em class="parameter"><code>target</code></em> specifies whether the desired texture image was one specified by

            <em class="parameter"><code>lod</code></em> specifies the level-of-detail number of the desired image.
        </p><p>
            If a non-zero named buffer object is bound to the <code class="constant">GL_PIXEL_PACK_BUFFER</code> target
            (see <a class="citerefentry" href="glBindBuffer"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">glBindBuffer</span></span></a>) while a texture image is
            requested, <em class="parameter"><code>img</code></em> is treated as a byte offset into the buffer object's data store.
        </p><p>
            To minimize errors, first verify that the texture is compressed by calling
            <a class="citerefentry" href="glGetTexLevelParameter"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">glGetTexLevelParameter</span></span></a> with argument <code class="constant">GL_TEXTURE_COMPRESSED</code>.  If
            the texture is compressed, then determine the amount of memory required to
            store the compressed texture by calling <a class="citerefentry" href="glGetTexLevelParameter"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">glGetTexLevelParameter</span></span></a> with
            argument <code class="constant">GL_TEXTURE_COMPRESSED_IMAGE_SIZE</code>.  Finally, retrieve the
            internal format of the texture by calling <a class="citerefentry" href="glGetTexLevelParameter"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">glGetTexLevelParameter</span></span></a> with
            argument <code class="constant">GL_TEXTURE_INTERNAL_FORMAT</code>.
            To store the texture for later use, associate the internal format and size
            with the retrieved texture image.  These data can be used by the respective
            texture or subtexture loading routine used for loading <em class="parameter"><code>target</code></em> textures.
